Didier Deschamps has to balance the desire of his World Cup winners to bask in the acclaim of the French fans – and the Stade de France crowd's wish to see the stars of the Russia campaign in action – with the fatigue that was apparent in the closing stages against Germany. It will be a triumphant homecoming for Les Bleus, no matter what happens against the Dutch, who have plenty to prove.

What the coaches say

Didier Deschamps, France coachWe're returning home, but we need to be more efficient [than against Germany]. We ran out of steam towards the end and obviously the entire squad is not yet in top form. Not at this time of the season. I haven't decided yet whether to rotate players – anything is possible. Given that it's our first match back at the Stade de France, in front of our fans, I'll see how everyone recovers.

Ronald Koeman, Netherlands coachFrance are the world champions for a reason, without really playing great or beautiful football. When you want to improve, you have to play against nations of this level. The World Cup has proven that nothing is impossible – just look at [runners-up] Croatia – but we're certainly the underdogs.
